Historic Coat of Arms of Melilla General Command Until 1984 (Spain) - Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design showcases the historic coat of arms of the Melilla General Command in Spain, as it appeared until 1984. The artwork centers around a striking heraldic composition.

Visual Elements

The central element is a shield, rendered in a vibrant azure (blue) field. Dominating the field are two large cauldrons, placed vertically. These cauldrons are intricately designed, displaying a checkered pattern of gold (or) and red (gules), a motif echoing historical ties to the Ducal House of Medina-Sidonia.

Emerging from within each cauldron are silver serpents (sierpes). The top cauldron features three serpents directed toward the right (dexter), while the bottom cauldron displays four serpents arching toward the left (sinister). The overall shield is historically framed by a silver (plata) border.

Crowning the shield is a regal Spanish royal crown, symbolizing the connection to the Spanish monarchy. In some versions of the design, a golden eagle, wings spread, surrounds the shield. Behind the shield, a crossed sword and baton in saltire (X-shaped) formation are present, reflecting the military nature of the command.

Symbolism and Meaning

The blue field and the cauldrons with serpents directly reference the municipal coat of arms of Melilla. The checkered pattern in the cauldrons pays homage to the House of Medina-Sidonia, a family with deep roots in Melilla's history. The serpents, often symbols of vigilance or danger in heraldry, here contribute to the unique visual impact of the design.

The royal crown reinforces the bond with Spanish national authority. The eagle and crossed military insignia, if included in the design, further emphasize the military purpose of the Melilla General Command.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
